The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit applications to study the effects of genetic or environmental interactions on genomic variant impact. To accomplish this, interaction centers will first propose a research framework to investigate whether interactions with effects beyond additive are important modifiers of the impact of variants. Centers will apply their framework to experimentally test combinations for interactions and share their data as well as analyses through the Impact of Genomic Variation on Function (IGVF) portal and catalog. Centers will share their method for predicting the most important combinations for future testing. The rationale for this combination of research and resource work is the identification of a structure within the interaction landscape might result in better predictions of the most important interactions to test, leading to more effective variant testing, better understanding of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and improved polygenic scores. As IGVF Consortium members, centers will work together to ensure all consortium resources are accessible to a wide variety of potential users. Centers are also expected to collaborate with other consortium components to coordinate assays, variants, and cell types, and to develop shared analysis strategies to meet consortium goals.

The Farm & Ranch Solid Waste Clean Up & Abatement Grant program provides funding for cleaning up and preventing illegal dumping on agricultural properties (CCR, Section 17991(d)). Each fiscal year has four application cycles, with the fourth serving as the pilot cycle. Cycle 93 (FR93) is the third cycle. CalRecycle administers the program per Section 48100 of the Public Resources Code.
The project sites eligible for the grant must be located on 'farm and ranch' property, encompassing both private and public land, where the owner is not held responsible for the illegal disposal. The definition of 'farm and ranch' property can be found in the Eligible Geographies section below. Grantees are given approximately two years to complete the project(s). The sites should be fully remediated (cleaned up) using grant funds, or a combination of grant funds and in-kind contributions in terms of funds or services. The funding covers various costs, including Administrative, Recycling/Disposal (tires), Equipment, Material, and Personnel expenses. If necessary, measures for abatement and prevention, such as site security and public education/outreach efforts, should also be addressed. The program encourages innovative approaches. For further information and requirements, please refer to the Notice of Funds Available FY26-27 webpage, particularly the Application Guidelines and Instructions and Procedures and Requirements resource documents. The application typically includes several items for each project/site, such as Budget, Land Use/Zoning Designation, photos, Property Affidavit, Site Characterization, map, Work Plan, and Resolution.

The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to support research on interventions to improve health in Native American (NA) populations. This includes 1) etiologic research, where there is a significant gap in knowledge, that will directly inform intervention development or adaptations, 2) research that develops, adapts, or tests the efficacy or effectiveness of health promotion and disease prevention interventions, 3) research that tests culturally informed treatment or recovery interventions and 4) where a sufficient body of knowledge on intervention efficacy exists, research on dissemination and implementation that develops and tests strategies to overcome barriers to the adoption, integration, scale-up, and sustainability of effective interventions. Existing data suggest that significant acute and chronic disease inequities exist for NA populations. Concurrently, NA populations experience unique sociopolitical, historical, and environmental stressors and risks that may exacerbate health conditions and/or impact the effectiveness of existing solutions to address the conditions. They also possess unique strengths and resiliencies that can mitigate stressors or inform intervention strategies. Through this initiative, intervention and related research is sought to build upon community knowledge, resources, and resilience to test science-based, culturally appropriate solutions to reduce morbidity and mortality through identification and remediation of precursors to diseases and disorders and through culturally informed treatment. Interventions should be designed with a consideration for sustainability within the communities where they are tested, and have the flexibility to be readily adapted, disseminated, and scaled up to other communities where culturally appropriate. For the purposes of this NOFO, NA includes the following populations: Alaska Natives, American Indians (whose ancestral lands fall at least partially within the U.S. main land).

New Recreation Opportunity for Acquisitions: ACQUISITION PROJECTS must result in at least one NEW RECREATION OPPORTUNITY for the public within three years after the completion of the ACQUISITION. The entire PARK DEVELOPMENT does not need to be completed; a phased portion is acceptable and must be completed within three years. In some cases, the ACQUISITION property may not require DEVELOPMENT to provide a NEW RECREATION OPPORTUNITY. Examples include: · An existing fire or safety road in the ACQUISITION property that is readily useable as a trail or walking pathway. · EXPANSIONS: The ACQUISITION property is adjacent to an existing PARK, and can serve: o To protect the VIEWSHED of the PARK for current and future generations of PARK visitors. In this case, enjoying the VIEWSHED is a recreation opportunity for the PARK visitors. o To protect a wildlife corridor for current and future generations, where visitors of the existing PARK come to enjoy watching wildlife. Development: DEVELOPMENT of RECREATION FEATURES must be for outdoor recreation. LWCF funds are intended to increase outdoor recreational opportunities for the health and wellness of Californians.

Eligible activities include the retrofit or replacement of existing diesel engines, vehicles, and equipment with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) certified or verified technologies.
There are several ways DERA recipients may implement projects and fund project partners, depending on the roles and responsibilities of each. If the applicant is the owner of the target vehicles, the applicant may directly implement the project. If the applicant is partnering with diesel fleet owners, the applicant may award subawards or participant support costs (e.g., rebates). Please refer to Section 9.B. for detailed guidance on funding partnerships.
After an extensive review of the program, the EPA revamped DERA requirements to ensure alignment with the Administration’s priorities, improve the quality of projects funded, expand the availability of technology choices, and respond to stakeholder requests for a simplified program structure. Consistent with agency grants direction, updates to 2 CFR §200.204 and DERA statutory requirements, this NOFO reflects these changes and inputs when compared to previous funding notice opportunities.
This NOFO is a competitive grant program. The DERA Program has another competitive funding opportunity, DERA Tribal and Territory Program, which funds similar activities but is only open to eligible Tribal and territory applicants. Competitive funding for school bus replacement is also available through the EPA’s Clean School Bus Program. The DERA Program also provides non-competitive funding to U.S. States and territories through the DERA State Program.
